JOHN Stones admits he never thought he would win FIVE Premier League titles
STONES ME, I'VE WON FIVE TITLES!

The Blues defender has played a key role this season, pushing up into midfield in a new role implemented by Pep Guardiola.

Having joined City in 2016, he now has five Premier League medals in his collection.

“It’s surreal. I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d win five Premier League titles,” said the 28-year-old.

“Every one has been special in a certain way. This one’s been so enjoyable with how we’ve played and the different positions and different roles.”

Of his own move into midfield, Stones said: “I think it’s such a unique position that a centre mid’s got, the vision that they have naturally, being able to be spatially aware and I’ve kind of had to learn and adapt.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s given me appreciation when I do play at centre-half when it’s right to give the centre mid the ball as well.”

City now have the FA Cup final against United ahead followed by the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
